What killed the Chargers last year was partly turnovers. Only 8 teams had a worse takeaway/giveaway ratio. But it was mostly special teams. They were terrible, and ST has a huge effect on the game. It's partly because they usually had such bad field position, that they were able to put up so many yards.

With the new rule pretty much eliminating kick returns, it helps level the playing field for the Chargers. But they do have a very difficult schedule and have a tendency to always start out slow.

Hopefully that trend will continue and the Chiefs can get a bit of a lead on them early to carry us through the toughest part of our schedule.

That's a big reason that we were able to get the divison last season. The chargers start slow we got them week 1. They lost early to a couple teams in the NFC west (weak teams)

The media love the Chargers and for some reason some are on the Faiders ban wagon. The Chiefs despite winning the divison get no love. They are seen as a team that only won because of the weak schedule blah blah blah. Not many point out that the Chargers went 2-2 against the WORST DIVISON IN THE HISTORY OF THE NFL and we went 4-0. The Chargers have a big name at QB so of course they get the love from the media. I say the Chiefs just go out and go 19-0 win the superbowl and FORCE the media to give them some love whos with me.

Well, they had won the division four straight years prior to last season, when they had the number one offense and defense in The NFL.

Pretty easy to chalk-up 2010 to a major underachievement.

The team didn't really lose a whole lot, and all of their divisional competition (Chiefs included) have yet to prove that they are at the same level.

Should The Chiefs, or The Raiders be as competitive as they were last season, then I think they will start to be taken as seriously as The Chargers, by the masses.

The general view of The Chiefs is going to be a team that benefited from The Chargers' mishaps, more than a team that proved themselves as a real force in The AFC West.

But, when you have last season's top rated defense, and the top rated offense, as well as having won the division for four consecutive years prior.... I think it's pretty reasonable to expect big things from you.

Chief31 and I disagree on a lot of thigns, but when it comes to football we agree a lot. I agree with him here. We might want to say that we are better than San Diego and we may be, but we are never going to get that respect until we prove it.

San Diego is a proven commodity and with Rivers at quarterback they are always going to get the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah it usually takes just a sack or two or a fumble and he's fuming at his team mates. The media calls that being "competitive". I call it as him being a crybaby sometimes.

That is the point I have made many times. When he starts getting hit a little bit or his receivers drop a couple passes, he will start screaming at his team mates and totally lose his composure. He is the ultimate diva. Now it's true he has the skill to back up his diva status, but it's hard to keep a squad together in the toughest games (like the playoffs) when they know their diva is going to start going off on them when it gets tough. He has been the biggest key to their success and the biggest reason they can't get over the hump.
